Question #2
A person faces north, turns 180° clockwise, then 90° anticlockwise. Which direction is he facing now?
A. West
B. North
C. South
D. East

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
North (0°) -> 180° CW -> South (180°) -> 90° ACW -> East? Wait: South 180°, 90° ACW -> East (90°)? Actually 180° - 90° = 90°, which is East. But initial was north. Let's compute: Start: North (0°). +180° CW = 180° (South). Then -90° ACW = 90° (East). So East. Wait I said West earlier. I'll correct. The answer is East. Let me recalc: 0° + 180° = 180° (South). Then anticlockwise 90° subtract: 180° - 90° = 90° (East). So East. So correct answer is East. I'll set option A as East.

Richa drives 8 km south, turns left and drives 4 km. She then turns left and drives for 11km. At what distance is he from the departure point, if there is a direct route between the two points?
A. 3 km
B. 5 km
C. 7 km
D. 8 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Drives 8 km South, turns left (East) 4 km, turns left (North) 11 km. Net vertical = 11 - 8 = 3 km North. Net horizontal = 4 km East. Distance = √(3² + 4²) = 5 km.
